Man i hate finding the video link early.. now i have to wait for the 404 to disappear..

Game for those unfamiliar: two characters, Ellen and Keats. You play the story through as both of them - first seperately, then together. During this you explore first the village of Doolin, and secondly the underworld and its different levels. Creatures inhabit the underworld, known as 'Folk'. By beating them up, Ellen and Keats can capture them, which allows them to then use them in combat. E.g. one folk is more or less 'tap square to hit people, tap repeatedly for combos'. One folk might be a shield. One might fly around and drop poison/glue on enemies, etc. It was quite fun, in a curious twisted way. Had a slight pokemon feel to it (catch em'all)

You know just because something is weird doesn't mean it's bad, Folklore is a damn good game, weird and damn strange but good the opening cutscene doesn't show it, and obviously like most games very few do

Edit: and for being a game that's like four or so years old the graphics are some of the best i've seen

3. Folklore is actually a fantastic game, not that you'd know from this cutscene.

I just watched some actual gameplay and it looks awesome! Is it a JRPG? I couldn't really tell. Regardless it looks cool. Shame I don't own a ps3! :(

It's an action game...I guess you could say it has some RPGish elements, but its mostly just in this amazing setting that's right out of a storybook. Basically, you collect "folk," which are these wonderfully strange creatures that have unique abilities. One might have a projectile attack, another might have a fire-based attack. You can't do combat yourself, so you need the folk to do it for you. You assign different folk to different face buttons, then hit the button for the attack you want to do. You can capture the souls of new folks to add to your arsenal. You also get different costumes that give you different abilities and buffs. You play as the two characters you saw in the video, each one with their own storyline, though the stories intersect in places.

It's kind of hard to find now, but if you can scoop it up, definitely give it a shot, if only to see how beautiful and otherworldly it is.
